Free Contents Guide ISSUE CONTENTS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER UP-TO -DATE THROUGH VOL 20 NO 5 – SEPTEMBER , 2021 Copyright © 1993-2021, Charles Kendrick Cowdery, All Rights Reserved WHAT THIS IS The name pretty much explains it. The Bourbon Country Reader Issue Contents in Chronological Order is a list of all the contents of every issue, in chronological order, from the beginning to the most recent issue. It lists the volume and issue number of each issue, the publication date, the headlines of all the stories in that issue, and where necessary there is a short description of what the story is about (when it isn't obvious from the headline). All product reviews are included too. All back issues of The Bourbon Country Reader are available as bound volumes except Volume One (see explanation, below). Each bound volume contains six issues. Volumes become available in bound form as soon as that volume is completed, i.e., after issue number six of that volume has been published. You may order bound volumes of back issues at bourbonstraight.com. WHY VOLUME ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE When we started The Reader in 1993, it was an experiment. We had no idea if anyone would be interested. The design was very crude. (Considering how simple it still is, that's saying something.) After the first six issues, we had worked out the kinks and decided to keep going. We decided to bury the experimental first volume, for reasons both aesthetic and technical. In light of that decision, we resolved to republish in future issues all significant stories from those first six issues, which we did, so you're really not missing anything by not having Volume One. Its contents are included in this document for the benefit of that tiny core of subscribers who have been here from the beginning. WHY SOME EARLY ISSUES HAVE LARGE BLANK SPACES Due to technological changes in desktop publishing software over the years, the main body font we were using became unavailable. The best substitute is slightly smaller, leaving gaps at the end of stories. We made sure all of the text is as originally written but otherwise left it alone. Everything has since been converted to PDF, so this won’t happen with any of the newer editions. It looks weird, but you aren’t missing anything. page 1 VOLUME ONE 1.

  • Brown-Forman Cooperage Case Problem for MGT 602 – Production & Operations Management
    Brown-Forman Cooperage Case Problem for MGT 602 – Production & Operations Management Consulting Client Overview The Brown-Forman Cooperage (http://www.brown-forman.com/careers/locations/louisville.aspx) in Louisville Kentucky (USA) supplies flame-charred white-oak barrels for the aging processes of various bourbon and whiskey products produced under the Brown-Forman corporate umbrella (http://www.brown-forman.com/ ). Some of these barrel-aged products include brands such as Jack Daniel’s, Early Times, Old Forester, and Woodford Reserve. Recently, legislation passed by the State of Tennessee has increased the importance of the activities at the cooperage (barrel-making) facility: “NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - If it isn't fermented in Tennessee from mash of at least 51 percent corn, aged in new charred oak barrels, filtered through maple charcoal and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof, it isn't Tennessee whiskey. So says a year-old law that resembles almost to the letter the process used to make Jack Daniel's, the world's best-known Tennessee whiskey.” [emphasis added] http://www.aol.com/article/2014/03/17/jack-daniels-opposes-changing-tenn-whiskey- law/20851352/?icid=maing-grid7|maing13|dl7|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D454551 Your team has been hired as external consultants to assist the Brown-Forman Corporation with making some strategically-driven operations decisions about how best to utilize the Brown-Forman Cooperage facilities to support several of its beverage brands.

  • The 25 Most Important Bourbons Ever Made
    The 25 Most Important Bourbons Ever Mad If you asked a spirits expert a quarter century ago to name the most important bourbons ever made, they might have wondered whether America’s home-grown whiskey deserved such analytical consideration. Bourbon was in the doldrums, unappreciated and underdrunk. But today, thanks to a boom that shifted into high gear around the turn of the century, bourbon is arguably the most talked-about, most obsessed-over and most in-demand spirit in the world. To better assess how we got here, we consulted with 23 bourbon experts, including distillers, journalists, authors, whiskey-bar owners and one whiskey-centric-liquor-store proprietor. Each participant named five to ten bourbons that made a difference—not their favorite bourbons, or the ones they thought tasted best, but those bottles that were influential, innovative or otherwise held a significant place in bourbon history. They were allowed to reach way back to pre-Prohibition years, cite bourbons they could never have tasted, and yes, in the case of distillers, include their own creations. (One self-serving endorsement would not land them a spot on this list, however, as every bourbon here received multiple votes.) The final order was determined strictly by the votes received. There were a number of ties in the lower rankings. In those cases, editorial judgment determined final rankings. In a few instances, the panelists indicated complete lines of bourbons that bore the same name, not just a single bottling. In other cases, panelists pointed out different bottlings within a single line. As the arguments behind these choices were often similar, these votes were sometimes combined and placed within the rankings as a bourbon label’s complete line.
